The 'make release' or './build release all' commands build releases of
GNU Boot that consist of installable images and the upstream source
code used to build them.
The u-boot-libre package is instead meant to follow different release
schedules as it releases deblobbed versions of various u-boot releases
for reuse by distributions like Parabola.
Before the commit 857afa42a8 ("Switch to
packages structure.") users were expected to run the release script of
u-boot-libre separately but after it it ended up being run
automatically as part of 'make release' or ./build release all.
Renaming this script ensure that it's not run during regular releases.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.
